Going Crazy

K is going crazy. She has had some light spotting almost daily since we found out she was pregnant. For the most part it's that brownish color that they say is normal and you shouldn't worry. Sometimes it's a little more pink but this morning I got a call that it was red. She is really stressing out. I tell her not to worry and it's normal but she just can't calm down.

We go today for another beta and I've already called the office to see if we can get some time with one of the nurses so we can talk to someone about what's happening.

We really need this beta number to be great and I'm hoping for a quick exam so K can see that everything is ok.

Send good thoughts that nothing is wrong and we are just over reacting because we don't know any better.

  3. Spotting is scary, no matter the color and no matter how many times you read about it happening to others. I like your idea. Another beta and some assurances from a nurse should help! I will say a litter prayer that all is well and that you guys find some peace today.

  6. Oh, positive, positive thoughts to you both!! I did just read a study that said quite clearly that spotting in early preganancy is normal and NOT ASSOCIATED with risk of miscarriage. If it stops and then starts again, then it is cause for concern. Of course I can't find it now (and I am at work) but if I can bring it up I will send. Meanwhile, hoping all the best for you....

  8. i am hoping everything will be ok. I had TONS of brown (and brownish red) spotting in my first trimester. I was always freaking out, but my OB said that's just normal. The blood is increasing, and your membranes are getting soft - so it could be a tiny little bleeding from the cervix surface, or just the baby implanting more. Bright red blood is what you want to worry about...Brown stuff is old blood that is just finally making its way all the way out of her body. I think things will be ok! Please keep us posted, and we'll keep sending positive vibes for you into the universe. :)

  9. For what it's worth, I had bright red bleeding the day before I saw the heartbeats for the first time. It's probably just the embryo getting nice and cozy, or some uterine stretching.

    Sending positive vibes your way.
